OBJECTIVE To study the effect of Coriaria lactone (CL) on cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]i) of cultured neurons from cerebral cortex. METHODS Primary neuron culture (14d) and AR-CM-MIC cation measurement system were used, the [Ca2+]i were measured. CL effect was observed by loading egtazic acid. RESULTS The [Ca2+]i of cultured neurons (99.4-103.4) nmol.L-1 was elevated concentration-dependently by CL (25-500) mumol.L-1 (P < 0.01). This effect disappeared after loading egtazic acid 5 mmol.L-1, but reappeared after adding CaCl2 to 1 mmol.L-1. CONCLUSIONS The [Ca2+]i of cultured neurons was elevated by CL, depending on extracellular Ca2+.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
